The T31™ transmitter detects your heart rate and transmits it to the wrist receiver. Heart Rate Monitor Heart Rate Monitor 3. How to Stop and Recall File 2. Press to start. 1. Press to stop. 2. File recalling within 3 feet of your transmitter. Check that you are not near other people with heart rate monitors or any source of electromagnetic disturbance. 3. Heart rate symbol flashes to the beat of your heart. Stopwatch begins to run. Your heart rate appears in 5 seconds. Exercise Time Indicator 1 block = 10 minutes exercise, 6 blocks = 1 h After one hour, when all the blocks are black, the cycle starts again. 4. To check your exercise time, Disclaimer 2. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly bring the wrist receiver near the Polar logo on the transmitter. Your elapsed exercise time will appear for three seconds. (steps 2-4) is scrolling automatically. 4. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and the Polar logo is in a central, upright position. 4. After Exercising 3. Average heart rate (3 sec.) 1. Carefully wash the transmitter with a mild soap and water solution. 2. Rinse it with pure water. 3. Dry the transmitter carefully with a soft towel. 4. Keep the wrist receiver clean and wipe off any moisture. 4. Total exercise time 5. OFF-display (3 sec.) The average heart rate and the total exercise time are shown twice. After that the wrist receiver turns off. You can stop the file recall by pressing the button. If you want to recall your file later, press and hold the button when OFF is displayed. 5. Store the heart rate monitor in a clean and dry place. Dirt impairs the elasticity and functioning of the transmitter. Sweat and moisture can keep the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated, which shortens battery life. A1 USA B 27/2/01 8:02 Page 2 C 5. Target Heart Rate Zone To find your target heart rate zone, you need to know your maximum heart rate (HRmax). To estimate your HRmax, use the following formula: HRmax = 220 – age Your HRmax = 220 – ______ = ________ Reference: American College of Sports Medicine. ACSM’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription. Williams & Wilkins, 1995. For a more accurate measurement, visit your doctor for an exercise stress test. Your target heart rate zone is a high and low range which represents percentages of your current HRmax. Find out your target zones: Light intensity: upper limit 0.60 x your HRmax = lower limit 0.50 x your HRmax = Light to moderate intensity: upper limit 0.70 x your HRmax = lower limit 0.60 x your HRmax = Moderate to heavy intensity: upper limit 0.85 x your HRmax = lower limit 0.70 x your HRmax = Push on to 60-70% of your HRmax and you're in the light to moderate intensity zone. This is good for improving fitness, building endurance and recommended for weight loss. At 70-85% of your HRmax, you've moved into the moderate to heavy intensity zone. This is harder work, but good for strengthening your aerobic fitness. Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary. To minimize possible risks consider the following advice: Before beginning a regular exercise program consult your doctor • if you are over 40 years of age and have not been following a regular exercise program during the past 5 years • if you smoke • if you have high blood pressure • if you have high blood cholesterol • if you have any signs or symptoms of any disease • if you are recovering from a serious illness or a medical treatment e.g. surgery • if you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device. Note that in addition to exercise intensity, heart, circulation (particularly high blood pressure), asthma and other breathing medications as well as some energy drinks, alcohol and nicotine, can affect the heart rate. It is important to be sensitive to your body’s reactions during exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when exercising, it is recommended to stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity. If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with the skin, check the Polar heart rate monitor materials from the ‘Technical specifications’ chapter. It is recommended that you wear the transmitter against your bare skin to ensure flawless operation. However, if you wish to wear the transmitter over a shirt, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes. Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device. Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar heart rate monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an exercise test under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the heart rate monitor. Composite Y CM MY CY CMY K 6. When Battery Runs Out When your heart beats at 50-60% of your HRmax, you're in the light intensity zone. This kind of exercise is easy (a walk, for instance), but already delivers some health benefits. 7. Minimizing Possible Risks in Exercising with Heart Rate Monitor M 8. Technical Specifications All Polar heart rate monitors are designed to indicate the level of physiological strain and intensity in sports and exercise. No other use is intended or implied. Heart rate is displayed as number of heartbeats per minute (bpm). Polar Transmitter Battery type: Built-in Lithium Cell Battery life: Average 2500 hours of use Operating temperature: 14 °F to 122 °F / -10 °C to +50 °C Material: Polyurethane Elastic Strap Buckle material: Polyurethane Fabric material: Nylon, polyester and natural rubber including a small amount of latex Wrist Receiver Battery type: CR 2025 Battery life: Average 2 years (2h/day, 7 days/week) Operating temperature: 14 °F to 122 °F / -10 °C to +50 °C Water resistance: to 100 feet/30 meters Wrist strap: Polyurethane Wrist strap buckle: Polyoxymethylene Back cover: Stainless steel complying with the EU Directive 94/27/EU and its amendment 1999/C 205/05 on the release of nickel from products intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin. Accuracy of heart rate measurement: ± 1% or ± 1 bpm, whichever larger, definition applies to steady state conditions Total exercise time: .....................................9 h 59 min Exercise time display < 1 h: .........................mm:ss Exercise time display > 1 h: .........................hh:mm Minimum duration of recorded exercise: ..1 min We recommend having all service done by an authorized Polar Service Center. Warranty does not cover damage or consequential damage caused by service not authorized by Polar Electro Inc. Water resistance cannot be guaranteed after an unauthorized service. However, if you wish to use a local watch shop or battery replacement center or to change the battery yourself, please follow these instructions. You need the following equipment: • Battery type: Panasonic CR 2025, 3V Li • Piece of dust-free pad • Small Philips or standard screwdriver • Plastic tweezers (recommended) 1. Put the wrist receiver on a clean, dust-free pad on an even table surface and open the back cover by removing the screws counterclockwise. Do not turn the receiver upside down since the module may fall off. 2. Push the spring gently. Lift the spring gently upwards and release the other end of the spring, too. 1. 3. Take the old battery off and put a new battery in the battery housing + side up, using plastic tweezers. Do not use metal tweezers because they may shortcircuit the battery. Note also that bare fingers cause grease and contaminate the battery, which weakens the contact. 4. Assemble the plate back in reverse order, placing the rotating joint properly in the slot. Press the spring gently so that it locks the battery in its proper position. 5. Reset the receiver by pressing the reset spring against the round golden pad for 1 second. 2. 9.
